Enhance Your Home With Feature Walls

Create a Focal Point in Any Room By Adding Pattern, Natural Elements, and Texture

There are some walls in the home that can be difficult to decorate because they are too wide, and adding furniture seems to only make them more awkward. Rather than just placing a large hutch or an unnecessary mirror in the middle, elevate the entire space with details that draw the eye in and up. Wainscoting is a timeless design that has literally been around for centuries, and for good reason!  There are endless variations, from very simple contemporary designs, to classic and ornate. You can layer boxes, add shapes around doorways, or fit them around large pictures.  After you do one wall, you’ll be very tempted to add another!

One of the best ways to create a home that feels unique and inviting is to bring a touch of nature into the space. Wood slat accents make a strong visual statement and work especially well on smaller walls, like the TV wall, behind a bed, or in an entry. The natural wood adds warmth and depth, while the vertical slats draw the eye upward and can make the ceilings feel taller. This type of feature works beautifully with modern and minimalist aesthetics, but it can also be a great addition to a more transitional style.

Brick is a material that not only adds texture, but also brings warmth, character, and a cozy loft-style feel to a space. It is easy to overdo brick walls in a home, and they can become visually “busy” if used too liberally. But when used thoughtfully on a single wall, such as behind a bed, in a dining room, or even as a kitchen backsplash, brick can completely transform the way a space feels. You can choose from a variety of colors, textures, and styles, or even paint it a contrasting color for a cleaner, more modern aesthetic.

Your home is a truly special place that you get to make your very own. You can curate each space and design it to fit your needs, your taste, and the way you actually live. Feature walls are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to elevate the rooms where you spend the most time with the people you love.
